This brie-like blue cheese from Denmark is made by Tholstrup, the same company that makes Saga Blue at its factory in the United States. Blue Castello is richer than Saga Blue and is made only in Denmark. Castello is a distant derivative of Italian Gorgonzola but has a higher fat content and a milder flavor. It is a perfect blue for those who like a little blue flavor without being blown away.

Ordered 2 - 1 lb. pieces. One was excellent and one never got rid of the ammonia, only got worse.
Its delicious when its good.

Favorite blue cheese

We love blue cheeses - French bleu, Stilton, Gorgonzola, all of them. But this is our favorite. Very mild flavor that goes great with a variety of pairings or just plain on crackers or bread.

STILL MY FAV!!

This is a delicious creamy blue. No other cheese compares for me. Brie is Brie, Blue is Blue but this is the best of both worlds to me.
I try others that are supposedly comparable but they don't stand up to Blue Castello.
Did I mention I love this cheese? I tried to give it a six rating!

Favorite of the blue cheeses

This is a really smooth and silky blue cheese. It has almost a buttery feel to it. Our family's favorite blue.

Blue Castello

We received a cheese that was labeled Blue Castello; however it didn't look or taste like Blue Castello. It was mostly like a triple cream cheese, with very little blue cheese. Definitely did not look like the picture. It was a good cheese, but was NOT Blue Castello. Very disappointing.

Blue Costello

We have enjoyed Blue Costello for years. However, this piece is unlike all we have tried in the past. Must have been made by another Danish company or different formulation. Not triple cream, much less flavor and very little veins. Not the same! All the other cheese ordered were fine!

No, it's still a blue.

As someone who normally loathes blue cheese except for the dressing, I was intrigued by the description of this, and decided to give it a try -- knowing my blue-loving spouse would devour it if I didn't like it. Well, that's exactly what happened. This cheese is marvelously creamy, buttery, and spreadable. It's beautiful in appearance. It melts in your mouth. It? Is still a blue, with all of a blue's musky qualities.
If you don't like that, don't buy this cheese. *Lovers* of blue cheese, however, will appreciate the semi-solid mushroom-y veins of mold and the way the butteriness of the paste and the typical bitterness of blue cheese culture play off one another.
